why i decided to quit instagram

[@myheart2yours]

it is almost relieving to know that at least someone thinks the same way i do. we do not need all this noise

[@ginamin]

it's quite a crazy world we live in

[@foka.3kai]

my phone always feels sooooooo loud, even when it is turned off

[@spicysummernoodle]

i agree, and it’s nice to know others feel the same. prior to deactivating mine, i was uncomfortable with how forced i was to maintain and curate a single version of myself when we are all such multifaceted individuals. what you said about the maximization of real moments was so well stated. we are the generation that grew up alongside the rise of the digital age, so it makes me wonder how the advancement of technology has detracted from other aspects of life.

You summarized my thoughts on instagram so well..i also deactivated my account end of last yr and im feeling very liberated rn. Thx for sharing!!

[@angebots]

It’s very refreshing to hear someone articulate what I’ve felt for awhile about Instagram (and quite a lot of social media in general). Thanks for sharing!

this is exactly why i deleted mine at the start of this year! the obligations & interactions stressed me out & i hated feeling like i needed to document everything & be active all the time. now my screen time is down by sm & im not mindlessly scrolling or thinking about random people i haven’t seen in years…maybe one day i’ll return with just an art insta!

I started a blog earlier this month instead, and deactivated instagram yesterday :-)

[@ginamin]

I wish this had more views. Yes, I do see the irony in my comment, but I stand by it.

i do not particularly enjoy using instagram and i rarely use it. When i use it it only bolsters up insecurities i have and i quickly notice myself getting lost in the digital , rhe imaginal realm, it often feels very noisey there, and when i notice myself getting sucked into it i try to step back out as fast as i can. i do not really care for my "digital body" and its connections, as you put it,, the things i post/posted didnt especially matter to me/ i never saw them as representing me. i still use it to message people, read messages people send me and sometime i repost small local music events that i go to/like/support. But i do not like it, esp for how it weakens discernment as you put it. But that goes for the whole internet i think, mindless consumption has become its whole theme sadly

[@foka.3kai]

maybe an earlier internet was friendlier

[@foka.3kai]

i hope youtube does not become a pool of similar negatives for you
